CONCEPT

The concept is to beat your opponent's face in while controlling their board state.

COMBOS

There is a really good synergy combo in this deck that I would like to share from my experience from playing with this deck. The first is Tezzeret the Schemer and Fatal Push. When you plus one Tezzeret, you create an etherium cell. You can then sacrifice the etherium cell for one black mana, activate revolt, and take down a bigger creature with Fatal Push or even take down the Saheeli Rai copy cat combo.

SIDEBOARD

There are three main types of decks I am ready for. Mirror/Control, Jeskai/4c Copycat, and Mardu Vehicles. Against another control deck, I will sideboard in Sphinx of the Final Word, and maybe some other stuff depending on what they are playing. Against Copycat I will sideboard in, Authority of the Consuls, Ruinous Path , and To the Slaughter. And against Mardu Vehicles I will sideboard in, Baral's Expertise, Fathom Feeder, Linvala, the Preserver, and To the Slaughter. Declaration in Stone is in there for the occasional token deck that I run into every tournament.

RESULTS

I did pretty good when I went to FNM, but lost to super friend +1/+1 counters. I had no answers to the planeswalkers. But not to worry I fixed that problem by adding in Imprisoned in the Moon to take care of planeswalkers. I really do think this deck has potential and I want it to succeed. So any fixes I should make please let me know. Thanks And don't forget to upvote please.
